Lost Legacy Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 So after reading through many topic posts and trying to solve my problem i am still getting static and alternator whine through my speakers. its incredibly annoying as i prefer clean crisp music, as im sure everyone of you guys do. So the things i have done are: -move RCA cables away from power cables. -re-ground both head unit and pre amp/equilizer -checked all the wires for faults. thats the things that i have come across that others have done to solve the problem but it still hasn't worked. Any ideas on how else i could solve the problem??? appreciate any help Quote Honda Accord SirT + Mad sounds = Awesomeness VTEC go BRAAAAAPPPP http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/141261-99-accord-sirt-sq-build/ Alright well i never done the big 3 so i see in my vision my truck on fire...

fritosaregood Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 ground the rca's on the back of ur hu... this, a simple way is to strip about 2 inchs of insulation of the wire and wrap it around the rca shield then with the other end just use and existing screw on the back case of the radio to ground it and the noise will be gone.

Maxim Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 alright ill give that a try. do i have to do it on the back of both HU and Pre-amp though? Quote wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fritosaregood Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I only did the rear set on my HU and it took away the noise in the whole system, so its not super necessary to do all the rca jacks Quote seller feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=61719 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=68281 build log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=44800 Gf's build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/54346-kickergirls-camaro-new-box-pg-5/#entry753970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) The grounding of the RCAs on the back of the headunit will only work if you have an older Pioneer head unit. So if that does not fix your problem your have a ground loop issue. Not know exactly what equitment you are running is not going to help get you answers to fix this problem... You said you have a preamp/eq? What kind is it? Where is it grounded? This may sound very odd, however disconnect your ground on the EQ if your using one. The unit will still ground thru the RCA cables, just to see if it is in fact the EQ making noise. Ive seen a lot of EQs be the cause of engine whine. Where is your amp grounded? Did you ground your amp with a nut and bolt to the vehicles frame/chassis? Did you remove any paint and grime away for a pure metal on metal contact? If you grounded your amp to something like a strut tower bolt or something similar, that could also be your problem. I only did the rear set on my HU and it took away the noise in the whole system, so its not super necessary to do all the rca jacks This is correct, not needed to do all the rca preouts, on most head units they all share the common ground.
